Krum stepped into the age line step by step and the Durmstrang's students immediately cheered.
Lucas looked at the Slytherins behind him very puzzled.
"Do you understand why these people are cheering?"
Seeing them shaking their heads, he came to a conclusion. That is, Durmstrang's students seem to be out of their minds.
Sure enough, the next scene confirmed his conjecture.
When Krum threw the parchment with his name on it into the Goblet of Fire, the Durmstrang's students burst into thunderous applause.
Lucas really couldn't figure out what there was to cheer about in a boring competition.
Just when he finished watching the excitement and was about to go back to his common room to read a book. Suddenly, he found Krum walking towards him.
"Lucas Grindelwald, I heard that you are also an excellent Seeker, but unfortunately I can't compete with you."
"It's a pity that you can't participate in the Triwizard Tournament, otherwise I will let you taste my power."
boom!!
The great hall seemed to explode.
When the students heard Krum's words, they all showed curious and eager expressions, as if they were waiting for the show that was coming.
They turned their eyes to Lucas, wanting to hear his response.
Certainly, as students of Hogwarts, of course everyone hoped that Lucas would hit back at that arrogant guy.
While the Slytherins, seeing that their Chief was being provoked, slowly approached from all around. And the wands of many were already in their hands.
They were preparing to bring down Durmstrang's students as soon as Lucas gave the command.
The atmosphere in the great hall became extremely dignified. Everyone looked at Lucas Grindelwald sitting at the long table.
Snap~!
Lucas closed the book in his hand.
Only then did people discover that the title of the book he was reading was "The Theory and Practical Application of the Three Unforgivable Curses"
Krum swallowed.
Even in Durmstrang, where they actually teach the dark arts, they are still absolutely prohibited from learning the three Unforgivable Curses.
He didn't expect the blond boy in front of him who was even younger than him would dare to read such a dangerous book in public.
Lucas glanced at the brute in front of him, then his eyes turned to Karkaroff.
"Igor Karkaroff, is this the kind of student you teach?"
Lucas' attitude was very obvious for everyone to see. He didn't care about Krum and actually treated him like he was not even qualified to speak to him.
"Krum, come back!"
Krum glanced at Lucas unwillingly, but finally, he obeyed his Headmaster's words and returned to the Durmstrang group.
People around had imagined many outcomes.
Some thought Lucas would step up to the challenge.
Maybe even choose Quidditch, or maybe a duel. Others thought that Lucas would use the Slytherins numerical advantage to suppress Krum.
But no one expected it to turn out this way.
Lucas didn't even look at Krum, but talked directly to Durmstrang's headmaster.
And judging from the tone, Lucas obviously put himself on the same level as Headmaster Karkaroff.
What was even more unexpected was that Karkaroff endured it and called back his favorite student.
This was really eye-popping.
If Lucas knew what the students were thinking at the moment, he would have laughed out loud.
On the same level as Karkaroff? Is that trash worthy?
The tense atmosphere in the great hall dissipated silently.
Karkaroff took his students and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly looked at a place and stopped.
The Durmstrang's students looked curiously and soon some people also showed surprised expressions.
"Is it him?"
"That's right, that's Harry Potter!"
Harry probably didn't expect to be so famous abroad.
Igor Karkaroff, the former Death Eater, came up to Harry. Looking at the scar on Harry's forehead, he greeted him in a low voice: "Harry Potter, hello!"
Looking at his big yellow teeth, Harry leaned back a bit.
"Let him go, Karkaroff!"
A loud shout came from outside the gate and Fake Moody limped in.
Seeing Mad-Eye Moody, Karkaroff's expression became somewhat unnatural, because it was Mad-Eye who hunted him down for six months and successfully imprisoned him in Azkaban.
Although he has an important position such as Durmstrang's Headmaster now, he is still full of fear of Moody in his heart.
"Alastor Moody, you..."
"What about me? What do you want Harry for? If it's nothing important, get out of here before I lose my temper."
"Hmph~!" Karkaroff gave Moody a hard look, then he left the great hall with his students in a mighty manner.
"Harry, are you all right? You have to watch out for that guy, he used to be a Death Eater."
Harry was taken aback and thought that Karkaroff just wanted to make trouble for himself.
At the same time, his affection for the fake Moody rose to another level. After all, he had been helping him again whenever he was in trouble.
"In front of so many people, casually say that the Headmaster of Durmstrang is a Death Eater, Professor Moody, are you really not afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"
Lucas' voice came from behind.
Fake Moody changed the oscar worthy expression of concern in his eyes, and looked behind him sharply.
His magic eye spinning around wildly, as if it was about to fly out at any time.
"Lucas Grindelwald!"
"I'm here, is there something wrong?"
Seeing the teasing expression in Lucas' eyes, Fake Moody couldn't help clenching his hand holding the staff a little bit.
"Harry, let's go, I have something to tell you!"
Barty Jr. eventually backed down, but before leaving, he glanced at the Goblet of Fire with a hint of madness in his eyes.
…
The next day.
One after another, many people put their names into the Goblet of Fire.
After dinner was the time where the most people registered.
Some may have been egged on by others.
Some were probably enticed by the thousand Galleons.
Others just did it for fun.
But they all wrote their names on parchment and threw it into the Goblet of Fire to the cheers of their friends.
They were then treated like heroes and applauded.
Lucas sat at the long table, watching the farce with boredom, wondering when Crouch Jr. would make his move.
At this moment, Hufflepuff's badgers surrounded Cedric who walked up to the Goblet of Fire.
When he threw his name into the Goblet, everyone started cheering.
There are four houses in Hogwarts.
At this moment, most Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs that wanted to enter have already signed up.
Only Gryffindor and Slytherin remained.
Gryffindor students have always been known for their courage, but so far no one has signed up, which makes the younger lions feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the Weasley twins stepped forward at this time.
Each of them drank a small vial of aging potion to make up for the few months of age difference.
When they successfully entered the age circle, the Gryffindor students cheered and celebrated loudly.
But unfortunately, their happiness didn't last long as a powerful magic force threw the twins out of the age line just a moment after they put their parchments inside the goblet.
And as if that wasn't enough, as a punishment, the hair of the two quickly turned white, and they grew long white beards.
Seeing the appearance of the two, Lucas thought it was quite funny and smiled happily.
Suddenly, he remembered a sentence he saw on the Internet in his previous life that was used to describe the present scene.
[This is the only chance the Weasley twins have to see each other in old age.]
This sentence is a bit sad and doesn't really fit the cheerful scene in front of him.
Lucas looked thoughtfully at the two brothers who were fighting and rolling on the ground together, pulling each other's hair and beards, with people cheering them on the side.
In this life, the two should be able to reach old age together.
Suddenly another shout of joy caught Lucas' attention.
Angelina, one of Gryffindor's Quidditch team chasers, had just put her name into the Goblet of Fire.
"It's really shameful. Fortunately, I just celebrated my seventeenth birthday a week ago. Otherwise, no one from our House will sign up!"
The Gryffindor female Chaser sat back in her seat dissatisfied.
All eyes were now on the students of the Slytherin House.
It was strange that none of the Slytherins had stepped forward.
"Hasn't anyone signed up for Slytherin all day?"
Harry looked at Colin Creevey beside him.
This little guy who aspires to be a reporter spent almost the whole day in the great hall today.
"No, not a single one."
Harry frowned upon hearing this.
Ron sneered when he saw it: "It's not surprising, those guys have always been cowards that need to fight in groups."
Harry shook his head slightly, then turned to look at Lucas. He couldn't figure out why Lucas would do this.
…
In the middle of the night, the door of the great hall was gently pushed open.
The Goblet of Fire blue and white flames, combined with the gloomy atmosphere of the room, added a bit of horror to it.
Professor Snape, who was hidden, saw Karkaroff stepping closer to the Goblet of Fire.
He wanted to immediately draw out his wand and step forward to question him, but he was stopped by Lucas in time.
Seeing Lucas' calm eyes, Snape put away his wand and retreated back into the shadows.
Not long after, another figure walked into the great hall.
Seeing the man's appearance, both Snape and Lucas were taken aback.
